How does the first consultation with a psychologist go in Paris 9?

Before making an appointment, the question is often whether to see a psychologist or a psychiatrist. We will later return to the differentiating between the title of psychologist, the position of psychotherapist and the profession of psychiatrist.

Preparing for the first appointment with the psychologist

When a person makes the decision to consult a psychologist for the first time , it can cause feelings of stress, anxiety or even apprehension. It happens that people prepare questions to ask the psychologist, that they ask the psychologist how a consultation takes place, if it is possible to consult a psychologist without a prescription (reimbursed by social security) or even what questions the psychologist asks during the consultation.

This desire to prepare for the consultation with a psychologist for the first time brings out both the unique nature of this meeting but it also comes to express the investment and the desire that the person shows in the undertaking of his psychotherapy to treat himself and build your life peacefully.

Psychotherapy (sometimes called psychoanalytic) is aimed at anyone experiencing psychological, physical, or biological pain. Its virtue is to find an outcome other than suffering to resolve conflicts whose core remains unconscious. It is this unconsciousness of the psychic conflict which is the cause of the suffering. Thanks to the method of free associations, psychoanalysis offers anyone wishing to heal themselves another path of existence.

Consulting a psychologist for the first time without your parents? in Paris 9.

Minors in distress wishing to seek treatment and alleviate their pain cannot consult a psychologist without their parents knowing. The law requires that minors be under the authority of their parents; psychologists are therefore also subject to the law and cannot receive minors without first obtaining parental consent. However, it is very important to emphasise that the desire of an adolescent or even a child to consult a psychologist can shed light on family dysfunctions. Thus, psychotherapy is also aimed at parents in order to find a path other than the pain of the children as much as for the parents.
